And I'd be interested to know if your current wife that replaced your old girlfriend was a smart decision and if...

Just kidding

Mr. D

1995 L400 replaced my workhorse 1989 Toyota Corolla 4WD Wagon with 370+K km.

Just like the $6-Million Dollar Man - "Better, stronger, faster".

Well, maybe not *too* much faster. And without the rebuilding part...

Oh yeah, our L300 made sense to our lifestyle. It is an addition to our garage.
Other vehicle we own is a Nissan X-Trail.

OK, this is going to be a bit of a list. Here is what myself and my SO currently have:

- 06 M45 Infiniti - my "daily" driver
- 01 LS430 Lexus - her "daily" driver
- 96 Suburban (400,000 kms) - my beater. Not worth anything except to me but is sure handy to have once in a while.
- 04 Honda ST1300 motorcycle - my touring bike
- 00 Honda CBR 1100 Blackbird motorcycle - scratches my "hooligan itch"
- 08 Suzuki SV650 S motorcycle - hers. I ride it when I have the urge to play "Rossi".
- 93 Delica - got it to save her buying a VW van!! Best move ever! I have to confess that we don't use it as much as we should but I also have to confess that I enjoy driving it as much as any of the others, especially around town on winter roads.

Wow... heu... feel a bit light compare to this guy... Well... Hummm... My other vehicles are:

2002 Subaru Impreza WRX, which I use for escaping from any crime scene
My bike
My canoe
My skies
My snowshoes
My runners
My Hiking boots
My fins...

I know I'm stretching it but... this is all I got...

Hope this help

Gumdrop (1992 L300 Super Exceed) is my only vehicle at the moment.

She replaced a 1986 VW Jetta GL, very nice to drive, but not big enough for telescopes. I had originally looked at a Subaru Outback, but when I saw Delicas around town and realized how cool they were, I visited Japanoid, took one for a test drive, and was hooked.

The only other vehicles I operate at the moment are some of the school's planes, all Piper Cherokee 140s - C-FKKF (my favourite) http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/C-FKKF.html, C-GCEP http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/C-GCEP.html and C-GODP http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/C-GODP.html. I wouldn't mind having one myself.

My '93 L300 Exceed just replaced my 91 4Runner with 446,500kms

Think I'll get that many miles out of the Star Wagon??

My 1990 L300 replaced a 1974 Westie, It was a hard decision but realized that
I wanted to drive the van in the winter. The westie had no rust so I couldn't bear
to do it. Sold it and got top dollar. Who gets $7400 for a westie nowadays ?
Anyway, it also replaced a 1980ish rusted out bucket - toyota 4x4 stationwagon.
One of those tiny ones.. The kids nicknamed it 'Brownie', lol, I pulled out more little
SUV's out of snowed-in culdesacs and snowbanks than I can remember. I think
it had 4-500,000 km's on it. It was cold in the winter though.. no real heat to
speak of and quite breezy.

The other vehicle is 'her' runner, 2002 Hyundia Elantra 5-speed with cruise.
Love it.

Ok, I'll add the other stuff : 14ft Lund aluminum fishing boat with a 35 hp,
canoe, couple mtn bikes and some plastic sleds, skis and snowshoes..

Delica replaces the photo.

I gained ability to shift to 4x4 in the cab, parts no longer have to be made by me, the interior is finished.

I lost lots of camper space, and my L300 not very unique!

^^^ OMG! Please say you kept that as a second vehicle...

No money to keep it...it seems to be for sale again on Criagslist FC170 http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/rds/c ... 00345.html

Here is the link to when I built it....http://bb.bc4x4.com/showthread.php?1232 ... C170-Build

Cheers

Hehe that camper was at the Peach City Beach Cruise car auction in Penticton, BC this summer. No idea if it sold or not. Pretty rad. I liked the wood dash...

Do not think it sold as the new owner emailed me a few weeks ago for more info.

It is built well, just needed some finishing when I sold it.

I wonder what the purpose of this 'survey' is.
